Squarehead, I live in Mississauga so hi, hope you don't mind my 2 cents. Get what you like but keep this in mind. If you buy a Leupold and want to sell it in a few years, it's easy to sell and get a large chunk of your money back. (I even sold one for more than I paid). The warrenty is great and forever. Also you're putting it on a 14 in 223 so you're doing maybe 300M? Get a scope topping out at 6x, 10 at the most and you'll be well served for 1/2 the cost of a 6-20. Epps has used Leupolds at a good discount. Just me shooting my mouth off.

Dogger, with all the people I know requiring optics, I'm surprised SWFA doesn't already have an outlet here. Aside from what most people already have, a lot of guys want to upgrade frequently, both scopes and quality bino's.

Aren't the Leupold VXIII's being discontinued? I think they've come out with a new line.....

I have a 6.5-20x50 w/varmint reticule, leupold PRW rings, Farrell 10moa base. It's loaded a top my Savage 12FLV in 308win, Choate stock, Harris bi-pod, tactical bolt, accutrigger set at just over a pound. I use it with some 150gr balistic-tip Noslers loaded to about 2700fps, for "long-range varmints.... It will reach out farther than I can shoot, lol.

Try looking for a deal on the Leupy or if funds are really a problem, try a Bushnell 3200 5-15x50. It's a great piece of glass for the money and SWFA's got them in-stock, I think..... About $300 if I remember?

Leupold Scopes are well known for the exceptional performance, quality and value.

The benefit of target-style windage and elevation dials to the VX-II 6-18x40mm Adjustable Objective Target scope make it a great choice for target shooters and varmint hunters alike. With plenty of magnification to really reach out to the longer distances or to see the details necessary for accurate shots on small targets, it will soon become a favorite of both these types of shooters.

The VX-II is one of Leupold's most popular lines of riflescopes, and the reasons become clear to anyone who picks one up. The VX-II is built to meet the demands of today's serious hunters and shooters.

Full of useful features like:- 1/4-minute "click" windage and elevation adjustments for precision- Multicoat 4 lens system for exceptional brightness and clarity- Lockable- Fast-focus eyepiece- Tactile power indicator

• Tactile power indicator makes it easy to tell your scope's magnification with just a touch, without ever taking your eye from the eyepiece.

• Multicoat 4 lens system for unparalleled light transmission in all light conditions.
